Oatmeal Cookie Dough for the Freezer.

Friday, December 28, 2018

Welcome to Our Sunday Café, we are pleased you stopped by for a visit. Today we are offering another delicious recipe from our kitchen. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did…

Even though I have been cooking for over 40 years, I am still learning to be better prepared in the kitchen. Being prepared can have a different meaning to each cook, or for that matter any special needs for your own family. But being prepared is a skill worth having and developing to the maximum potential.

Also, I like to play. Everyone needs to play, it keeps us happy and young in spirit. Sometimes it even results in a tasty surprise or improved technique. I like to think about and employ ways to be better prepared in the kitchen and through the house. These usually revolve around the kitchen, but not all the time. This morning, however, the kitchen is once again my playground.

While we love cookies, we are only two people.

And yes we could eat the whole batch of cookies, while they are still fresh and moist. But we usually act all grown up and as such, cookies and milk are not on the menu for dinner.

But we still want cookies!

Fresh cookies. Delicious cookies. Homemade cookies.

Which got me to thinking.........

Why not freeze cookie dough in portions to bake a dozen cookies, on demand.

When you want fresh-baked cookies, pull a portion of dough from the freezer, and let it thaw for a few minutes. Cut into 12 pieces and bake. Because the frozen dough takes up so little space, you can have 2 or 3 different kinds of cookie dough in the freezer, for variety.

Or drop in guests...

Just label with oven temperature and baking time, hey you've got this!

How about Maple Walnut?
To make Maple walnut, substitute maple flavoring for the vanilla, eliminate the raisins and spice, add 1 1/2 - 2 c. walnuts.

How about Cranberry and White Chocolate?
To make Cranberry White Chocolate, substitute 1 c each dried cranberries and chopped pure white chocolate for the raisins.

Enjoy!

If you have an interest in selling cookies or cookie dough for a fundraiser there is a website called Easy Fundraising Ideas that has about 10 different Cookie Dough Fundraising programs and they don't cost anything to start.

How smart! I need to do this. My Cowboy has a sweet tooth. He takes cookies to work. I will surely try this recipe. He can cook his own cookies before work! Genius! I hope you will come over and link at The Fabulous Party!Here's this weeks link:http://ourholidayjourney.blogspot.com/2017/01/fabulous-januaryvalentines-partyw.htmlCome over to the party and bring a few cookies!

I have such a sweet tooth, so that means that we just can't have cookies in the house. But this would make it so we could and have portion control. Great idea. Thanks for sharing on the Waste Less Wednesday Blog Hop!

I do this with my slice and bake cookies, Melynda, and it's so nice to have them on hand. Love your Oatmeal Cookie dough for the freezer - it sounds delicious! Shared on the Hearth and Soul Facebook page. Thank you for being a part of Hearth and Soul.
